This magnificent arch, a world famous landmark known as Delicate Arch, is the quintessential monument for the more than 2,000 beautiful and unusual sandstone formations preserved throughout Arches National Park in Utah.

Taken at sunset on a beautiful autumn day, this photograph captures the warm glow cast by the fading fall light. While picking up the rich color of the season, the composition sets the majestic La Sal mountain range as an interestingly detailed backdrop, beautifully contrasting the smooth, vibrant surface below the Arch.
